Chapter 10109: Helping Others and Helping Yourself

Some friends may ask, in addition to Ding Laowei, isn't there the man who connected with Ding Laowei that day? Didn't you keep up?

That's really the case, this person did run away that day, and I don't know if he had strong anti-tracking ability and found the person who was tracking, or if he was too vigilant, so he dumped the person who was tracking. And judging from Ding Laowei's strange reaction now, it is more likely that he has found a stalker.

Because of this incident, Liu Lao not only scolded those case-handling personnel, but also replaced them.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Zhang Lu's whole person was a little stupid, and his face was full of disbelief, but in the face of the iron-clad facts, he had nothing to say, and in the end he could only accept the extremely cruel reality for him.

After a while, Zhang Lu still asked with some reluctance: "Teacher Chu, do you mean that this thing has no value at all?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "It's not that there is no value at all, judging from its manufacturing process, it is still relatively exquisite, but the bad thing is that the maker used the method of accelerated oxidation, although I can't see any bad consequences now, but after a long time, it is difficult to say, and this will definitely have an impact on the value of this thing." ”

"How much is it worth at most?" Zhang Lu asked again.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "In terms of value, it's really hard to say, I think if you meet someone you like, you should be able to sell it for a thousand yuan." ”

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" When Zhang Lu heard this, his face immediately turned to ashes, and he complained to himself: "Why didn't I know how to be careful when I bought something, what can I do now!" ”

saw Zhang Lu's discouraged appearance. Chu Chen could only comfort him a few words, and after a while. waited for Zhang Lu's love to stabilize a little before asking, "Brother Zhang." Don't you know that friend of yours is in the capital? ”

"Yes, he is in the capital, I will go to him to settle accounts!" Chu Chen's words reminded Zhang Lu, and he stood up with a loud sigh and prepared to walk out.

Chu Chen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry. ”

Zhang Lu said a little impatiently: "I can't help but be anxious about this, the money to buy this thing, but my family has saved savings for many years." I was thinking that I would be able to collect it for a year or two and sell it to make a little difference, but I didn't expect it to be this result, which made me explain to the two of them! ”

Chu Chen disagrees with using all the money in his family to buy antiques, just like Zhang Lu, if he buys a fake, he will lose all his money. And Zhang Lu should also know such consequences. However, like many buyers who suffer losses in the end, they are lucky at the beginning, thinking that they will not encounter such a thing, and the result is often the opposite.

That's it. Of course, Chu Chen would not reveal Zhang Lu's scar again, and said slowly: "Brother Zhang, let me ask you a question first. Did you sign a purchase agreement with the seller? ”

Zhang Lu shook his head: "This is not there, but the thing is fake." Wouldn't he be responsible? ”

"When he sells something to you, does he make it clear that it's real? Even if he said so. Will he deny it now? ”

Chu Chen asked two questions, and then said: "Moreover, you should also know that it is difficult for us to return the goods after a blind eye, even if there is a lawsuit, you have no agreement to prove, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning." Of course, there is also a possibility that your friend is a decent man, or if you have a deep friendship, he may return the money to you. ”

Zhang Lu opened his mouth and said dejectedly: "I have actually known him for only three months, and I don't know what his personality is. But is that the end of it? ”

"That's definitely not going to work." Chu Chen said: "Brother Zhang, I mean so, something like this is actually a gang system, and we are now tracking down the whereabouts of the main leader of this gang......"

Hearing this, Zhang Lu reacted and said, "Teacher Chu, you mean, let you investigate the person who sold my things first, and see if he has any connection with this gang?" ”

"Yes, as for your loss......"

Chu Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't know what kind of antiques you are good at?" ”

Zhang Lu didn't quite understand why Chu Chen asked this, so he replied honestly: "What I am best at should be stationery, and I have also studied porcelain, but now it seems that ......"

Chu Chen smiled slightly: "The imitation level of this Xiangsheng porcelain you bought is very high, even some experts may not be able to see it, so I don't think you need to talk about tiger color change." ”

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly, even if Chu Chen said so, he might not touch porcelain worth more than 1,000 yuan for a period of time in the future, and if he couldn't afford it, he could only hide.

Chu Chen continued: "You also know that my museum has just opened, and the collection is not very rich, if you have some better stationery supplies in the future, you can take them, and I will buy them at the market price." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Zhang Lu's heart was moved beyond words, as mentioned earlier, although there is a market price for antiques, it only serves as a reference, and there are few general transactions that are purchased at the market price, most of which are lower than the market price, and Chu Chen does this, which is equivalent to giving him money for nothing.

For Chu Chen, although he also suffered a little loss, as long as the thing is true, that loss will come back soon, and maybe in three or five years, he can still make a fortune.

Moreover, now, it's like Zhang Lu working for him, earning more and less, it all depends on Zhang Lu's own eyesight, he only needs to identify the authenticity and pay for it. In a certain way, it can be regarded as helping Zhang Lu and himself.

"Teacher Chu, I ......"

Chu Chen patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm just a little help, the key is to see your eyesight." However, to put it bluntly, if you are buying antiques for investment, it is best not to invest all your money in it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. ”

"yes!" Zhang Lu said with emotion: "I'm just lucky, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss." ”

Next, Zhang Lu handed over the seller's details to Chu Chen. The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Lu took the things. I left with the feeling of the rest of my life.

Similarly, Chu Chen also made a phone call from Liu Lao. and told Liu Lao about the relevant information. Hearing the news, Liu Lao was also very happy and hurriedly informed the news.

Chu Chen came to the laboratory with the Chixiao Sword, and at this time, Du Yile happened to be testing the maintenance measures of the bronzes with several researchers.

After saying hello, Du Yile said with a smile: "Curator, you are finally here, and at noon, Curator Yu complained to me, saying that you left everything to him." As a result, he almost didn't get scolded to death when he encountered tourists who didn't buy tickets in the past few days. ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have already decided to take the heirloom jade seal to the Forbidden City for exhibition, and after tomorrow, Senior Brother will not be so troubled." ”

Du Yile was stunned when he heard this, and he also admired Chu Chen's decision a little, and then said with a smile: "That's fine, otherwise there are too many people, and the impact on cultural relics will be relatively large, especially those bronzes that are not very well preserved." The impact is particularly significant. ”

Chu Chen nodded in agreement: "Look at the number of people after the flow of tourists has stabilized, if there are still more tourists, then the museum will be expanded." ”

Du Yile said happily: "I raise my hands and feet in favor of this, but there seems to be no place around us, right?" ”

"You can rest assured. I've already bought the mall next door. ”

Chu Chen had long considered the expansion of the museum, and when the renovation here was nearing completion, he signed a purchase agreement with the owner of the shopping mall next door. Of course, since the other party is not in a hurry to sell. The price Chu Chen gave was much more expensive than buying this place now.

But even so, the original owner of the mall is now repentant. Knowing that Chu Chen had a national treasure such as the heirloom jade seal, he would definitely have to ask for more. Now, that's the only way to go, anyway, he definitely wouldn't dare to do this kind of thing.

Hearing Chu Chen say this, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder they saw the shopping mall next door start to move in the past few days, they originally thought it was very strange, but now they know that this is the case.

"Curator, you're really big."

Du Yile gave Chu Chen a thumbs up, then he looked at the cloth bag in Chu Chen's hand, and asked, "Curator, I don't know what good things you brought with you?" ”

Chu Chen smiled, took the Chixiao Sword out of the bag, and said, "This is a treasure, don't be dumbfounded when you see it for a while." ”

Du Yile was a little confused when he saw Chu Chen actually take out an iron rod, this thing is indeed enough to make him dumbfounded, but it has nothing to do with the baby at all, right?

Chu Chen looked at Du Yile's bewildered appearance, laughed, and then pulled out his sword.

Seeing a bronze sword with a sword body like frost and snow and a radiant shot appeared in front of his eyes, Du Yile and the researchers were indeed dumbfounded.

After a long while, Du Yile came back to his senses, and asked in a trembling voice: "Curator, you don't mean that this is another sword of the level of the Fish Intestine Sword, right?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "In terms of ranking, it ranks third, but it is higher than fish intestines." ”

"Third?"

Du Yile pondered for a moment, and immediately reacted, and said with some stammering: "Could it be that this is the Chixiao Sword?!" ”

Chu Chen nodded with a smile: "Yes, if nothing else, it is Chixiao!" ”

"No, it won't! This is actually Liu Bang's Chixiao Sword that slashed the White Snake! It's been more than 2,000 years! ”

"What's impossible about this, it's not like you haven't seen the fish intestine sword......"

"Uh...... You're right, since the fish intestine sword can be preserved until now, it's normal that Chixiao, who is later than it, can still have the brilliance it has now. ”

"However, doesn't the Chixiao Sword have colorful beads and Jiuhua jade, why haven't you seen it?"

"Didn't you see that the scabbard is all camouflaged, maybe these two things are in it, or they have already been taken by someone else, after all, these two things are also treasures......"

Just as everyone was talking, Du Yile also took the sword in his hand and observed it carefully, but after a while, his expression changed, and he raised his head and asked, "Curator, why is there still water in the gap on the sword's body, you can't wash it with water, right?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I haven't washed it, but it's ...... wet."

Speaking of this, he saw that Du Yile's whole face was darkened, and he hurriedly said: "Old Du, don't worry, I have also seen that this sword has not oxidized before it gets wet." ”

Hearing this, Du Yile frowned and carefully observed. His face immediately looked better, but he was still worried about it. said: "Even if it is well preserved, water is also the enemy of bronze." You're being reckless. ”

Chu Chen still admired Du Yile's serious attitude very much, and he said with a smile: "I also did this for a reason, and it was precisely because of the water that I made a heavy discovery." ”

"What discovery?" Du Yile asked with some curiosity.

Chu Chen said to a researcher, "Xiao Wang, you go and fetch a basin of water." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw Yu Renpeng and Dean Sima walk in.

After everyone said hello, Yu Renpeng asked. "Curator, are you going to put the heirloom jade seal in the Forbidden City for exhibition?"

Chu Chen hurriedly apologized: "Senior brother, I'm really sorry. Just now, a friend of mine happened to come over, and I forgot to tell you about it, and I ask you to forgive me. ”

Yu Renpeng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I thought Sima was looking red and wanted to come over and grab it." ”

Dean Sima smiled bitterly: "I said Lao Yu, I am this image in your heart?" Besides, with Curator Chu here, I don't dare to do this even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts! ”

"Hey! You are more of a bandit than a bandit, is there anything you dare not do? Yu Renpeng sneered. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Dean Sima spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, anyway, my image in your hearts is like this, you can think whatever you want." ”

Everyone laughed one after another. At this time, Dean Sima's eyes noticed Du Yile's hand, and asked with a smile: "I said Lao Du." What's the good stuff you've got in your hands? Can you show me a little bit of it? ”

Du Yile laughed teasingly: "What if such a sharp sword hurts you, I can't afford to take this responsibility." ”

"It doesn't matter. Never mind! Dean Sima smiled sheepishly: "In case of injury, it is also my own responsibility." It has nothing to do with you. ”

"Speaking lightly, if it's really hurt, the one in your family won't have to run over to die or live."

Yu Renpeng pursed his lips, and then asked with some curiosity: "Lao Du, what kind of sword is this?" ”

"Chixiao."

"What? Chixiao?! Yu Renpeng was taken aback, and Dean Sima even pounced directly on the sword, so frightened that Chu Chen hurriedly pulled him back.

Chu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Dean Sima, this is a sharp weapon for blowing hair and breaking hair, you have to be careful." ”

Yu Renpeng took over and said: "That's right, I said Sima, can you not be in a hurry with something, you haven't seen the sharpness of the fish intestine sword, if you really touch the blade of the sword, a hole is light, and if you don't do it, you will have to kill you." ”

Dean Sima didn't care, and said, "Old Yu, it's a bit of an exaggeration for you to say that. ”

"That's not an exaggeration......"

As he spoke, Chu Chen asked Du Yile for a sword, and then put it into the basin full of water next to him.

"Whoa! Don't you ...... Belch...... This...... Am I right? ”

Dean Sima didn't expect Chu Chen to put the sword into the water, and when he was about to step forward to stop Chu Chen, he saw that the water in the basin was unbelievably flowing upward along the ornament of the sword body, and it began to slowly turn red.

This situation shocked everyone, and they couldn't understand what was the reason for such a perverse scene.

After a while, everyone came back from the shock, and Yu Renpeng asked, "Senior brother, what is the principle of this?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know why."

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Before, I used a high-powered magnifying glass to look at it, and I don't know what method the original maker used, in the lines of these ornaments, there are small pits one by one, and these water are adsorbed on these small pits, and they will only flow along the ornaments, and they will not fall down even if they are laid flat." ”

As he spoke, Chu Chen put the sword flat, and everyone saw that it was exactly the same as he said, the water in the lines was firmly adsorbed on the line, and there was no meaning of falling down at all, as if it was a fairy spell.

"Could it be that this sword is really like the legend, it is made by an old immortal?" Du Yile muttered.

Legend has it that the reason why Liu Bang got this Chixiao Sword was because he wanted to go to Baiju Mountain, which suddenly burst into flames, to kill the Dragon King.

At that time, after Liu Bang said goodbye to everyone, he held a green rattan rope and an iron rod alone, and with the two "weapons" in his hands, he had the courage to go straight to Baiju Mountain. However, due to the scorching heat of Baiju Mountain burned by the fire, the more difficult it became to climb up, Liu Bang climbed to the mountainside, and the green vine rope was already burning. And when he climbed to the top of the mountain, Liu Bang only had an iron rod left in his hand.

Finally went up the mountain, Liu Bang looked at it, there was no dragon king on the mountain, and saw a white-haired old man in the distance, who was concentrating on boiling a cauldron.

Liu Bang felt very strange, and stepped forward and asked, "Old man, where is the Dragon King?" ”

The old man said, "What dragon king, I am burning the fire and preparing to forge a sword. ”

Liu Bang asked again: "Who are you forging a sword for?" ”

The old man said: "This sword is forged by the Son of Heaven!" ”

Liu Bang frowned and said: "When the tyranny of the son is implemented today and the people are suffering, isn't it helpful for you to give him the sword?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "This sword is given to the future Son of Heaven. ”

Liu Bang felt that the old man had a problem with his brain, so he replied casually: "Then please give it to me!" ”

Before the words fell, the iron rod in Liu Bang's hand suddenly flew into the cauldron, and the iron rod melted into the pot.

Liu Bang grabbed the sword with one hand, only to see that the sword body was engraved with the two seal characters "Chixiao", and then looked at the old man in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know where to go. At this time, the fire of Baiju Mountain was extinguished suddenly, and then the rain fell.

Since then, this sword has accompanied Liu Bang in the future snake slashing uprising, overthrowing the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and establishing the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Later generations have poems as evidence: "The immortal man casts a sword in Baiju Mountain, hoes and kills corrupt officials." Liu Bangde ascended the dragon throne with a sword, and the three-foot red sky protected the country. ”…… (To be continued......)
